Definitions

  • This invention relates to a high voltage stationary electromagnetic device of the kind comprising a magnetic core of magnetic material having a relative permeability greater than 1 and current-carrying winding means for generating an H-field.
  • the invention relates to such high voltage stationary machines as power transformers with an output range from some 100 kVA up to more than 1000 MVA and voltages from 3 to 4 kV, particularly from 10 kv, up to very high transmission voltages, e.g. 400 kV to 800 kV.
  • the invention is also applicable to other non-rotating electrical machines or devices, such as reactors (sometimes referred to hereinafter as inductors) .
  • the invention also relates to a magnetic core assembly.
  • Magnetic cores are constructed from ferromagnetic materials which should ideally have low reluctance for the magnetic flux, high saturation, low coercivity and low remagnetising losses .
  • All current commercially used magnetic core materials are based on iron and its alloys with most power transformers having magnetic cores made of laminated iron sheet. Pure iron has a magnetic flux density saturation level of about 2.2 T and can be treated for a low coercivity force and low remagnetising losses. The remagnetising losses can be affected by grain orientation, impurities and internal stresses .
  • Varying magnetic flux induces eddy currents within the core material itself.
  • the losses from these eddy currents in laminated cores are directly proportional to the conductivity of the core material, the square of the material thickness, the flux density and frequency of operation. Burrs on the laminated core sheets produced as a result of the manufacturing process also increase the losses.
  • the sheet thickness should be as small as possible.
  • the trend in core design has been towards creating thinner laminated core sheets and, with better manufacturing techniques creating flatter and smoother surfaces with thinner insulation coatings, even thinner sheets can be used.
  • the thickness of transformer core steel sheet is today typically 0.3 mm.
  • Core steel consists of grains with a cubic lattice structure, the preferred magnetic orientation being along the fourfold axes of the lattice. With a flux orientation along the sheet it is also of benefit to have the grains oriented along the sheet . The process that produces such an effect is called "grain orientation" .
  • Laminated steel sheets may have an inner thin glass film coating applied during a cooling process.
  • the core sheets may have an outer phosphate coating as a protective and insulating layer .
  • soft magnetic composites for example soft magnetic electrically insulated powder
  • the magnetic flux density at saturation lies midway between that of oriented material and amorphous material, i.e. about 1.6 to 1.8 T.
  • Such soft magnetic composite material and certain of its applications are described in a brochure from H ⁇ ganas, SMC Update, Vol. 1, April 1997, and in a report "Powdered soft magnetic materials for medium frequency applications” presented at a conference on "Soft Magnetic Materials” in San Francisco, February 1996.
  • the applications discussed are mainly concerned with very small power ratings at a frequency of around several kHz.
  • transformer cores made from oriented sheet have relatively low hysteresis losses and relatively high magnetic saturation.
  • the material is relatively expensive and material wastage during punching can be extensive.
  • transformer cores made from amorphous sheet have insignificant hysteresis losses and the eddy current losses are small.
  • the material has a low magnetic saturation and is expensive.
  • transformer cores made from soft magnetic composites are made from soft magnetic composites.
  • the cores can be shaped, without wastage of material.
  • such composites still have a limited magnetic saturation, have high hysteresis losses and entail high no-load currents.
  • a core type transformer is shown in Figure 1 and comprises a number of core limbs connected by upper and lower yokes which together form one or more core windows .
  • the core limbs are typically cylindrical in shape around which the coils are arranged.
  • the coils are also cylindrical and are arranged concentrically.
  • the coils are normally preformed and are slid down over the pre-made core limbs after which the yokes are connected to the core limbs.
  • the coils with insulation, support parts, cooling channels and the like fill the core window (s) .
  • each coil has a rectangular cross-section. Groups of coils are stacked together to form winding packets and the core is built up around these packets.
  • a core configuration for a conventional three-phase power transformer is shown in Figure 3.
  • the windings for each of the phases are located on their own limbs which means that there are three limbs which are magnetically coupled together by upper and lower yokes .
  • the sum of the magnetic fluxes in the three limbs is equal to zero when the magnetic flux in each leg is defined according to the directions shown in Figure 3.
  • the limb flux divides and has its return path via the other two limbs.
  • the cross-sectional area of the yokes has to be at least the same as the cross-sectional area of the limbs.
  • FIG. 4 A more detailed illustration of the present design of magnetic core for a power transformer is shown in Figures 4 and 5.
  • the connection between limb and yoke is often arranged at a 45° mitred joint.
  • the laminated sheets are layed in packets of two or four sheets with the joints displaced relative to adjacent packets.
  • Such an overlapping joint arrangement provides the core with a rigid mechanical structure and reduces the fringe effect for the flux traversing the joints .
  • Transformers have been used in the electrical distribution industry for more than a hundred years.
  • One of the first patents in that area German patent DE-40414, dated 1887, describes transformer and core constructions which, even if formed as a ring cored transformer, are more or less direct predecessors of today's core transformers and shell transformers.
  • Figure 6 shows a core transformer comprising a laminated iron core about which is wound a toroidal coil or coils of copper wire.
  • Figure 7 shows a shell transformer comprising coil or coils wound around the core which comprises a coil wound toroidally with iron wire.
  • FIG. 8 An example of known transformer core technology is described in GB-A-854,728 and shown in Figures 8 and 9.
  • the core construction described comprises three core limbs each carrying coils made from laminated sheets. The opposite ends of each core are bent through 90° (see Figure 9) in order to form parts of the yokes of the transformers. The three core limbs are then placed so that they form a three- armed star as shown in Figure 8 with the arms equally angularly spaced apart. The sheets of the yoke are stacked together in the middle of the star.
  • Figure 10 A variant of this design is shown in Figure 10 and is described in GB-685,416.
  • Figure 11 shows another transformer design disclosed in GB- A-965,741 which has many similarities magnetically with today's designs discussed below.
  • FIG. 12 Another core construction is described in GB-A- 805,721 and is shown in Figure 12.
  • This core construction consists of a triangular prismatic arrangement. Each core limb is formed by the intersection of two core packet limbs which meet at a V-shaped angle.
  • One disadvantage of this known construction is that the joints between core packet limbs and the yokes do not lie in a plane as they do in the construction shown in Figures 4 and 5.
  • a quasi-stationary voltage across the winding is distributed equally onto each turn of the winding, i.e. the turn voltage is equal for all the turns and the voltage increases linearly with the turns. From the point of view of impulse voltage and corresponding electric potentials, however, the situation is completely different.
  • One end of a winding is usually connected to earth. This means that the electric potential of each turn increases non- linearly from practically zero in the turn which is nearest earth potential up to a potential in the turns which are at the other end of the winding and which correspond to a considerable part of the implied impulse voltage.
  • This potential distribution determines the composition of the insulation system for the winding since it is necessary to have sufficient insulation both between adjacent turns of the winding and between each turn and earth potential.
  • the turns in an individual coil are normally brought together into a geometrically coherent unit, physically delimited from the other coils .
  • the distance between any two coils is also determined by the dielectric stress which may be allowed to occur between the coils . This means that a certain given insulation distance is also required between the coils.
  • Sufficient insulation distances are also required to other electrically conducting parts within the electric field from the electric potential occurring locally in the coils.
  • transformer window In addition to the conductor material, the transformer window must also accommodate cooling channels and the insulating material associated with the coils. In this way, windings with insulation and winding support parts represent large volumes which are subjected to high electrical field strengths arising in and around the active electro-magnetic parts of the transformer.
  • the accepted core design today is as shown in Figures 4 and 5 with rectangularly shaped windows having inner and outer 90° corners defined by the stacked laminations.
  • the limbs of such a transformer core are, as a rule, designed to have an approximately circular cross-section which results in the magnetic flux in the limbs, apart from the corner regions where the limbs connect to the yoke, being relatively evenly distributed over their whole cross-section.
  • Such an asymmetric flux leads to flux distortion which causes overtones producing additional losses; - causes an undesirable temperature distribution in the core with elevated temperatures at the corners of the core ; causes asymmetrical mechanical stresses in the core, especially at its corners; - causes vibration and thus noise; causes unbalanced short circuit forces; and causes a flux concentration in the inner corners of the windows which can give rise to magnetic saturation of the material .
  • H Magnetic field strength H (usually referred to as the "H-field") is measured in A/m and arises around a current- conducting conductor.
  • the H-field is proportional to the magnitude of the current and decreases with distance from the conductor.
  • Magnetic flux density B (usually called the "B- field") is measured in T and arises as a consequence of the magnetic field strength.
  • magnetic flux density In vacuum or air, magnetic flux density is proportional to the magnetic field strength multiplied by a factor ⁇ 0 (the permeability of free space) .
  • ⁇ 0 the permeability of free space
  • the magnetic flux density increases corresponding to the relative permeability ⁇ .
  • Electric field strength E (usually referred to as the "E-field") is measured in V/m and arises around a conductor which has an electric tension or voltage relative to another potential, for example earth potential.

  • the magnetic core can be designed so that there is practically homogeneous flux in all parts of the core, e.g. in both core limbs and yokes, and in the transition between such different core parts.
  • the core is conveniently designed so that no sharp or right-angled corners are allowed to exist in the magnetic flux carrying circuit which will give rise to compression of lines of force so producing the problems referred to above.
  • This approach contrasts with known transformer magnetic core designs having windows with sharp corners resulting in an inhomogeneous B-field distribution around the core with the disadvantages that accrue . These concentrations in the B-field occur when there are abrupt changes of orientation in the magnetic material at corners of the core.
  • the stationary electromagnetic device comprises a power transformer, it has: a B- field as high and evenly distributed as possible for a given magnetisable material. - lower iron losses. a lower sound level . a lower material wastage during core construction, a total weight which is reduced compared with a conventional transformer. - a geometry which can be adapted to the actual application.
